Ava Alchemist twirled her vibrant purple braids with excitement. Today, she would learn a new potion!
But when Ava reached the lab, she found her mentor, Master Corin, sick and pale in his chair.
Master Corin spoke weakly, 'Ava, you must create an antidote. The key lies in the Enchanted Forest.'
Determined to help, Ava packed her bag with vials and a book of potions. She was ready for her quest.
In the forest, Ava encountered a talking fox who whispered, 'Beware the Nettle Sprites; they guard the Shimmering Blossoms.'
Ava thanked the fox and continued, using her potion book to identify a path away from the dangerous sprites.
She found the blossoms glowing in a clearing, surrounded by Nettle Sprites. Ava had to be clever.
Remembering a potion that made things invisible, Ava mixed it quietly and sprinkled it over herself.
Invisible, Ava collected the blossoms. But as the potion wore off, a Sprite spotted her!
Ava ran fast, her heart pounding. She escaped with the blossoms, the first ingredient secured.
The next ingredient was the Pearl of Moonlight. Ava found it on a riverbank, guarded by a sleeping troll.
Using a potion to amplify her voice, Ava mimicked a bird’s song. The troll stirred, but didn’t wake up.
Ava grabbed the Pearl and hurried back to her mentor. With trembling hands, she prepared the antidote.
